Cowboy boot...sandals? -- (link) - Beaker Jun 23, 08:24
Ted Poll: Did you see the first? Rate it. Will you see the second? When? -- nm - Andie Jun 23, 08:23 11
- Yes, B. Maybe, if I am on an airplane with nothing to do, like when I saw the first movie.. -- nm - Roger More Jun 23, 08:26
- B+. Will check the sequel out not in theatres. -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 08:26
- saw half of it on TV. meh-be. when its' on TV. -- nm - Diva Jun 23, 08:26
- B+ - probably in theaters with my friend from uni. -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 08:25
- B - at home on cable. I'll see Ted2 when it comes out on cable also - decline Jun 23, 08:25
- Saw the first, IIRC in theaters and possibly opening weekend. Probably would have given it a B+ at the time (I should tron). - ty97 Jun 23, 08:25
- Yes, B. Yes, VUDU or similar. -- nm - Krusty Jun 23, 08:25
- No. But I bought it from the $5 bin. Likely watch both eventually -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 08:25
- B+, no - I had no unanswered questions and I'm sure all the funny parts are in the trailer -- nm - Inside Out Pippy Jun 23, 08:24
- Yes, at home, B+. Likely...at home in a few months. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 08:24
- Yes. B-. Probably - but most likely eventually on Netflix, no real drive to see it in theatre. -- nm - Andie Jun 23, 08:24
Right now, all three NYC area airport have ground hold and delay programs due to weather/t-storms. The problem I have with this: - ty97 Jun 23, 08:13 2
- there's some storms up here too. -- nm - Diva Jun 23, 08:19 1
  - We have a watch for storms and it will probably storm here this PM, just surprised that the airport are already effed. -- nm - ty97 Jun 23, 08:20
polling this early is dumb, but what's your gut for ted 2? I think maybe mid to high thirties, but - amanda Jun 23, 08:13 11
- $42.3M. It's a comedy that will be available to rent soon. - JaxSean Jun 23, 08:21
- at the current price, I am avoiding it. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 23, 08:20
- i think higher than 30s, but i feel it more around 50-55. like the first one. i don't see a big gain on that. -- nm - Andie Jun 23, 08:19
- I have no clue on this one. -- nm - Loyola Jun 23, 08:16
- Ted's OW was 54.4M and the sequel looks good enough, so I'd say toward 60M. -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 08:16
- $75 million or so. The original opened to $54 million, and had good word of mouth. The trailer for Ted 2 has gotten laughs every time I've seen it. -- nm - Inigo Jun 23, 08:15 5
  - I struggle to see why this one would outperform the first much. - ty97 Jun 23, 08:17 4
    - The legs the original had make me think there were plenty who found it hilarious. - Inigo Jun 23, 08:22
    - I think it will out-perform. The first was liked more than expected by a lot of home viewers and a large enough number will go see it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 08:18 2
      - it had a 3.3 mult so many people discovered it after OW. -- nm - amanda Jun 23, 08:24
      - I see it within +7/-3 of the original. But that's just gut. -- nm - ty97 Jun 23, 08:21
Polling this early is dumb, but "Trump Surges in Popularity in N.H., Taking Second Place in Suffolk Poll" -- (link) - ty97 Jun 23, 08:10 17
- I understand he's probably crazy, but he wouldn't be a bad Secretary of getting shit done in the next President's cabinet. - Loyola Jun 23, 08:15 10
  - You're fired....it's not that easy in civil service -- nm - z on the go Jun 23, 17:58
  - I'd watch The Vice-President Apprentice where he appoints the winner as VP -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 08:19
  - Dude... -- nm - Diva Jun 23, 08:18
  - He could be Secretary of Being Lucky After Multiple Bankruptcies, sure. -- nm - ty97 Jun 23, 08:18 4
    - I mean, anytime you can go bankrupt and as a negotiation, give up 50% of the property to buy more time...you just have to. - Will Hunting Jun 23, 08:24 1
      - I sense he'd be okay with that deal. -- nm - ty97 Jun 23, 08:26
    - Secretary of Born on Third Base and Stealing Second. -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 08:23
    - he'd be a great Fed Chairman! -- nm - decline Jun 23, 08:19
  - Some things should not even be joked about. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 08:16 1
    - This. -- nm - Krusty Jun 23, 08:26
- PRESIDENT TRUMP! -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 08:14 5
  - and you guys thought Rob Ford was fun... just imagine! -- nm - Andie Jun 23, 08:29
  - *FEAR* -- nm - Putin Jun 23, 08:20
  - He's a joke and he'll never win the nom of course (I give GOP primary voters at least that credit) - ty97 Jun 23, 08:15 2
    - Imagine how awesome it'd be for him the say "You're a disaster" during a POTUS speech?! -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 08:18
    - it is obvious that you have been swayed by the Chinese and Mexican lobbyists on capital hill - Beaker Jun 23, 08:17
Independence Day Resurgence -- (link) - ML Jun 23, 08:09 2
- "We spent all night on the title, but it was worth it." -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 08:10 1
  - heeh -- nm - mud Jun 23, 08:18
"The Los Angeles Lakers are willing to trade the #2 overall pick to acquire DeMarcus Cousins, but the owner of the Kings won't allow it." - David Jun 23, 08:09 13
- George Karl has apparently already made Boogie Cousins an enemy. - Will Hunting Jun 23, 08:21 2
  - He was the best player on a team that finished 38 games out of first. -- nm - David Jun 23, 08:24 1
    - I think Boogie, if he's got his head on, is one of the top 10 players in the league. - Will Hunting Jun 23, 08:31
- didn't Boogie tear shit up this year? -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 08:21 1
  - Yeah, but George Karl and him don't get along. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 08:22
- huh. the Lakers must really not like Okafor. I wonder if this means they'll take Russell at #2 -- nm - decline Jun 23, 08:13 7
  - Many folks think Okafor is falling to #4. -- nm* - David Jun 23, 08:16 6
    - I can certainly see that, if Lakers take Russell and the Sixers take Mudiay -- nm - decline Jun 23, 08:19 5
      - Porzingis is who I keep seeing linked with Philly. -- nm* - David Jun 23, 08:23 4
        
        I heard locally that talks with him didn't go well here and he doesn't want to come to Philly - but that could just be rumor. -- nm - decline Jun 23, 08:26
        
        Of course, he's a guy no one knows much about and likely won't be helpful until 2018. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 08:25 2
        
        Right, so he keeps getting linked to Philly. -- nm - David Jun 23, 08:27
        
        if he was hurt it would be our trifecta! -- nm - 76er Management Jun 23, 08:26
"President Obama to order government to stop threatening prosecution of families trying to pay ransom for American hostages" - ML Jun 23, 08:08 4
- It's a financial payment to a terrorist organisation - so I'm not that surprised. -- nm - Roger More Jun 23, 08:32
- Sure, it's a non-authorized government entity conducting foreign policy - Will Hunting Jun 23, 08:26
- hasn't the line always been we don't negotiate with terrorists? -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 08:13 1
  - "We" should be as in, the government. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 08:14
thx -- nm - Ender Jun 23, 08:06 1
- bah -- nm - Ender Jun 23, 08:06
RIP Dick van Patten -- (link) - TWuG Jun 23, 08:02 4
- that is sad, but i first thought of Dick Van Dyke and was more sad. -- nm* - Andie Jun 23, 08:06 2
  - I just bought van Dyke's new book, signed and personalized, too. -- nm - TWuG Jun 23, 08:10 1
    - nice. -- nm - Andie Jun 23, 08:16
- ahhh :( -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 08:03

Virginia’s McAuliffe plans to phase out Confederate flag license plate -- (link) - ty97 Jun 23, 07:45
OK I'm slow. I just now got the "headquarters" joke from Inside Out. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Jun 23, 07:45 4
- I still laugh at (spoils) - JaxSean Jun 23, 08:20
- Please remind me. -- nm - David Jun 23, 07:52 2
  - Less a joke, more just the pun of calling it headquarters. Not sure how I missed that. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Jun 23, 07:57 1
    - *snork* -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 08:15
SITWAP: Pamela Anderson named Countess of Giglio, an area in Montenegro, as a reward for her all her conservation work.....(link) - Walt_Disney Jun 23, 07:42 17
- I read that as Countess of Gigilo originally -- nm - ty97 Jun 23, 07:52 2
  - The headline gave me a Just a Giglio earworm. - David Jun 23, 07:53 1
    - Yeah, I re-wrote the first verse in my head for her when I saw it. - Spawn Jun 23, 08:21
- She's starting to look like Traci Lords. -- nm - David Jun 23, 07:49
- What she became - not attractive at all...but when she first hit...she was pretty awesome. -- (link) - Jim Jun 23, 07:46 9
  - has anyone ever got better looking in Hollywood after they got alot of work done? - groiny Jun 23, 08:11 1
    - I am almost sure Jane Seymour had a ton of work, Diane Lane as well. - Will Hunting Jun 23, 08:28
  - What she became is 47. - ty97 Jun 23, 07:54 6
    - No one's expecting her to look like she did at 23, but given all the work, her average age is probably still about 23. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 08:00
    - She looks like she spent 10 years imprisoned as a test subject by The Carver. - David Jun 23, 07:57
    - Even when she was young she was less attractive from the surgery, though. (Unless what you find attractive is Barbie.) -- nm* - Spawn Jun 23, 07:57
    - Age has nothing to do with the decline of Pam Anderson. -- nm - Jim Jun 23, 07:56 1
      - Tommy Lee's dick sure fucked her up. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 23, 08:11
    - for sure, but aging gracifully has been replaced with crazy amounts of lipo, botox and plastic surgery for the most part -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 07:55
- Before she started having work done, she was beautiful. -- (link) - Spawn Jun 23, 07:45 [Image] 2
  - Whoa. -- nm - Jim Jun 23, 07:46
  - Yeah, she ruined herself with all the plastic. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 07:46
Conrad Hilton (Paris Hilton's little bro) was arrested for breaking into the house of his ex-girlfriend Hunter Salomon (Rick Salomon's daughter) -- (edited) - decline Jun 23, 07:40 8
- Do the white trash all-stars only breed amongst themselves? - Will Hunting Jun 23, 07:42 7
  - was. Twice I believe, and he's got a couple of daughters all told from different women -- nm - decline Jun 23, 07:44
  - You misspelled White Trash Royalty. - Spawn Jun 23, 07:42 5
    - I don't even remember why Salomon is famous, but I was impressed with his poker play last year. -- nm - David Jun 23, 07:49 3
      - see above...he was in Paris' sex tape -- nm - Jim Jun 23, 07:49 2
        
        I just googled. He was married to Tommy Pickles! -- nm - David Jun 23, 07:52 1
        
        Rugrats got strange in its final seasons. -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 07:54
    - Ususally it takes many generations of royal in-breeding to get to this level of stupid. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 07:45
Major aurora event expected tonight -- (link) - Reagen Jun 23, 07:33
how's my morning so far, you ask? well, here's a note I just sent to the creamery. - amanda Jun 23, 07:24 14
- ouch. Can we get red spot updates later in the day, to find out if it's okay or not? -- nm - Max Jun 23, 07:48 3
  - I'm pretty okay. the worst part is that my fingertips are pretty well burned so typing is weird and tingly. (only on my right hand, in case you won- - amanda Jun 23, 07:52 2
    - my skirt was like this one except black and grey. -- (link) - amanda Jun 23, 08:09 1
      - I want to touch that one to see what it feels like. -- nm - Max Jun 23, 08:29
- Styrofoam? WTH? Is this 1985? -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 07:36 5
  - tell me. and the coffee is actually terrible. it's just that au bon pain is closed over summer and I can't stand campus starbucks. no choice. -- nm - amanda Jun 23, 07:37 4
    - you need a programmable coffee maker at home. Then it's ready when you wake up -- nm - CQ Jun 23, 07:40
    - sorry about the spillage - you could always make your own in the morn -- (edited) - decline Jun 23, 07:40 1
      - oh you big silly. -- nm - amanda Jun 23, 07:47
    - That sucks. -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 07:39
- Another reason why coffee is bad. glad you're okay. that effin sucks -- nm - CQ Jun 23, 07:35 1
  - Hot beverages (unless it is sub-zero outside) make no sense. But bottom line, glad she is okay. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 07:40
- Yikes! I'm glad you weren't really scalded thanks to that coffee. I'd go back there and speak to someone. - Krusty Jun 23, 07:32
- legal team assemble! -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 07:26
We all laugh at Gronk and rightfully so but he's clearly smarter than a lot of athletes with how he's managing his loot. - Krusty Jun 23, 07:01 20
- If that's true, that he hasn't touched his football money...my hat is off to the lunkhead. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 07:13 9
  - Yeah, I guess he just lives off that meager $4mil/year in endorsement money. - Jim Jun 23, 07:18 8
    - I don't even know why I'm supposed to hate this guy. -- nm - amanda Jun 23, 07:28 5
      - He seems like he'd be the life of any party he goes to. - Inigo Jun 23, 08:12
      - One of his better TD celebrations. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 23, 07:33 [youtube]
      - who could hate Gronk? -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 07:29
      - He's a Patriot, therefore a cheater. nm - Jim Jun 23, 07:29 1
        
        I didn't like him initially...I don't care much about party jocks...but he's just kept it at fun instead of douchebag. - Will Hunting Jun 23, 07:32
    - No, but in a sport where like half the people go broke within 3 years of retiring, someone having a clear concept of money is refreshing. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 07:22 1
      - the 30 for 30 on this was depressing -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 07:27
- I'm also amazed that he hasn't gotten into any actual off-field trouble. He's having the time of his life and being fully aware that he's a pro. -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 07:11 3
  - stick to booze, don't hit women, don't drive your own car. It isn't really that hard :) -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 07:12 2
    - and yet.... - Inside Out Pippy Jun 23, 07:15 1
      - For sure. -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 07:27
- I get the feeling people laugh with him at least as much as they laugh at him. - ty97 Jun 23, 07:04 1
  - Agreed. -- nm - Krusty Jun 23, 07:18
- oh he will be doing celebrity reality shows all right - to bang the celebrity reality chicks. -- nm - Inside Out Pippy Jun 23, 07:03
- if there is free booze, I bet he does those shows just for shits and giggles -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 07:02 2
  - and the ladies -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 07:31
  - True. He won't do it for the money as much as the experience and to have fun. The boy likes to enjoy life, no doubt about that. -- nm - Krusty Jun 23, 07:04
One of the attendees at Brady's hearing today is Jeffrey Kessler who has fought the NFL on anti-trust cases in the past (uh oh) -- (link) - Beaker Jun 23, 06:59
